We are committed to helping our customers recycle responsibly. Our product recycling goal is to recycle 1.2 million tonnes of hardware and supplies by 2025 since the beginning of 2016, and we’ve recycled 271,400 tonnes through 2017. More than 80% of our ink cartridges and 100% of HP LaserJet toner cartridges are now manufactured with “closed loop” recycled plastic.1 Our remanufacturing programs give IT hardware, such as printers, personal systems and monitors, a new lease of life, reducing environmental impacts from disposal. We only recycle products that cannot be reused.

Emissions from the energy our products and solutions consume after sale, while used by customers.

Water footprint

204,916,000 cubic meters

In 2017, our water footprint was 1% less than in 2016.

Supply chain 23.3%

Our suppliers affect our water footprint primarily through their use of electricity. We encourage suppliers to use and discharge water responsibly, and provide tools that improve water management practices.

Operations 3.1%

While our operations are not water intensive, water availability is a growing concern. We are committed to using less water, especially at operations in water-stressed regions.

Products & Solutions 73.6%

Customers using our products account for most of our water footprint. This water is indirectly consumed through using electricity to power our devices and through paper manufacture.

1. Intensity is calculated as the portion of first-tier production and product transportation suppliers’ reported GHG emissions attributable to HP divided by HP’s annual revenue. This method normalizes performance based on business productivity. Intensity is reported as a three-year rolling average to decrease the impact of variance year over year and highlight longer-term trends. Production supplier GHG emissions include Scope 1 and Scope 2. Taking into account the separation of Hewlett-Packard Company on November 1, 2015, calculation for all years uses HP revenue and spend associated with the business units that are now a part of HP Inc.

2. HP product GHG emissions intensity measures GHG emissions during product lifetime use per unit for personal systems and per printed page for printers based on anticipated usage. These values are then weighted by contribution of personal systems and printing products to overall revenue. These emissions represent more than 99% of HP product units shipped each year, including notebooks, tablets, desktops, thin clients, displays, mobile computing devices, workstations, displays and digital signage; and HP inkjet, LaserJet, DesignJet, Indigo, Scitex, and Jet Fusion 3D printers, and scanners. Through 2016, progress against this goal equaled a 19% decrease.

“We believe sustainability is a powerful force for growth and innovation, in the world and at HP.”

At HP, we’re reinventing for a better world. Sustainability guides every aspect of our business, fuels our innovation and growth, and works to enable everyone, everywhere to thrive. It is the right thing to do for our business, for society, and for the long-term future of our planet.

We’re encouraged to see governments, corporations, organizations, and individuals supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In 2016, HP made meaningful progress on 15 of the 17 SDGs, and set bold new targets in key areas where we can have the greatest impact -- including two major goals to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions in our operations and supply chain.

We are furthering our efforts to protect and empower workers across our supply chain to ensure the people who make our products can thrive at work, at home, and in their communities.

We also are making strides in propelling a circular, low-carbon economy -- continuing to transition our company and our customers from linear “take, make, discard” use and manufacturing processes toward a more circular “make, use, return” approach. For instance, through an innovative partnership, hundreds of people in Haiti are collecting recyclables to help support their families, and plastic bottles are finding a new purpose in creating HP ink cartridges. This program not only supports full-circle innovation and helps keep plastic out of the waterways that drain into the Caribbean Sea, but it also provides the people of Haiti with access to new social and economic opportunities.

We’re also shifting from transactional product sales to service models, delivering better value to our customers with less waste and cost. With innovations in industrial 3D printing and digital publishing, we’re working to transform industries and accelerate a materials-efficient economy.

Inclusive and quality education is essential for people to improve their lives and livelihoods. We help bring quality education and digital literacy to people where they are—including refugees and those living in underserved communities with no access to information technology. More than 9.5 million people have benefited from our efforts to improve the quality of learning since the beginning of 2015 -- and we are committed to enabling better learning outcomes for millions more.

We’re proud of our progress, and we’re inspired by the positive impact we’re seeing. But there’s still work to be done. Every day is a chance to turn change into opportunity, set the bar higher, and keep reinventing for a better world.

Sustainability Highlights

Through our actions and investments, we strengthen our communities and enable the sustainable development of society at large; we minimize the environmental footprint of our customers, operations and supply chain; and we act with integrity and respect for human rights around the world.

Environment

Products and solutions

We continually innovate to reduce the environmental footprint of products and solutions across our portfolio, proactively developing technologies that help to solve some of society’s most serious environmental challenges.

Became the first global IT company to set GHG emissions reduction goals for all three parts of its value chain, by adding an ambitious products goal to reduce the GHG emissions intensity1 of our product portfolio through 2014, compared to 20102.

Society

Supply chain responsibility

We motivate and empower suppliers and other stakeholders to enhance labor conditions, support human rights, and improve environmental performance at supplier production facilities.

Awarded an A grade on CDP Supplier Climate A List for our climate performance, among the top 2% of suppliers disclosing through CDP’s supply chain program.

Achieved 84% of workers related to HP production at final assembly sites working fewer than 60 hours per week on average, with fewer than 4% working more than 72 hours per week.

Became the first IT company to require direct employment of foreign migrant workers in our supply chain through the HP Foreign Migrant Worker Standard.

Employees

We aim to attract, motivate and empower the most talented people in the fast-moving and ultra-competitive information technology (IT) industry with compelling career development opportunities, a supportive work environment, recognition, and rewards.

Achieved 80% participation of all employees worldwide in our Voice of the Workforce survey, which found that overall employee engagement remained strong at 70%.

Worked with the Rainbow PUSH coalition as well as numerous other experts and organizations to address issues of diversity and inclusion in our industry, and deepened our long-standing commitment to transparency in continuing to publish comprehensive employee diversity data.

Launched Matter to a Million, our global employee engagement initiative providing capital to low-income entrepreneurs in partnership with a nonprofit micro-lender. Combined with additional www.ovngq.cnpany Foundation contributions, this equaled more than $5.9 million in loans.

Integrity

Human rights

We take an uncompromising stance on human rights in our own operations, and we make compelling arguments to others to do the same. Over the course of the last year, HP was proud to contribute to multi-stakeholder initiatives led by the Global Business Initiative on Human Rights, the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition, Social Accountability International and BSR.

Corporate ethics

We adhere to the highest ethical standards by supporting our employees in making the right decisions. While our industry-leading practices and policies in this area are well-known, each year we strive to make even greater progress.

Privacy

We implement rigorous policies and procedures to safeguard personal data that we hold or process, and we support these priorities through a rigorous program designed to train our employees and engage external stakeholders. By way of example, in 2014, HP helped lead efforts to develop the Unified Ethical Frame for Big Data Analysis, a groundbreaking initiative from the Information Accountability Foundation that has met with unheralded support from regulators, companies, and the privacy community.

Government relations

We advocate with transparency and integrity to promote laws and regulations that encourage economic growth and innovation in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.

Sustainability strategy

At HP we believe that technology should make life better for everyone, everywhere. With operations in 170 countries, our community is the world. We embrace the opportunity to address societal challenges including resource scarcity, the shift to cleaner energy, access to quality education and economic opportunity, human rights protection, and data security and privacy.

Sustainability is a powerful force for innovation. It drives progress across our business, from designing and delivering core products and services, to developing new business models that generate growth, and unlocking value through breakthrough technologies such as 3D printing. We take a holistic approach to sustainability, encompassing:

Environment: reinventing how our products are designed, made, used, and recovered as we shift our business model and operations toward a circular and low-carbon economy.

Society: using our technology, innovation and scale to create a more just and inclusive society.

Integrity: conducting our business with integrity, fairness, and accountability, and being a trusted partner to our customers and stakeholders.

Our sustainability goals

To bring this ambitious strategy to life, in 2016 and 2017 we set bold, long-term goals, shown below. These goals drive progress across our value chain, in areas where we can have the greatest impact in creating a sustainable future for people, businesses, and communities.

For our sustainability strategy to succeed, we need to hear from everyone our business affects. Key stakeholders include employees, suppliers, customers, peer companies, public policy makers, industry bodies, NGOs, and sector experts. We pursue their feedback and collaboration in many ways including partnerships, sponsorships, industry initiatives, customer and supplier education, supplier capability building programs and audits, employee surveys, white papers – and more. For examples, see our Sustainability Report.

We conduct periodic materiality assessments, most recently in 2015, to assess priority issues for sustainable development and our business success. The findings shape our sustainability strategy and investments, and identify emerging issues and new leadership opportunities for HP. By setting goals related to our most material issues, we manage performance and drive long-term progress. View our materiality matrix and findings here.

Sustainability leadership

HP’s sustainability vision and commitment begins with our leaders. Starting with our Board of Directors, we embed sustainability throughout our strategy, policies, programs, and value chain. The HP Board of Directors’ Nominating, Governance, and Social Responsibility Committee oversees global citizenship policies and programs as well as other legal, regulatory, and compliance matters. Our Executive Leadership Team, led by the CEO, has overall responsibility for sustainability as part of our business strategy. Senior leaders, led by our Global Head of Sustainability and Product Compliance, set HP’s sustainability strategy and drive progress company-wide.
